(1,5),(12,10) in point slope form

Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
To write the equation of a line in point-slope form, we use the formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line.

Given the points (1, 5) and (12, 10), we can find the slope (m) using the formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Substituting the coordinates, we get:

m = (10 - 5)/(12 - 1)

m = 5/11

Now, we can choose one of the points, say (1, 5), and substitute its coordinates along with the slope (m) into the point-slope form equation.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 5 = (5/11)(x - 1)

So, the equation of the line in point-slope form through the points (1, 5) and (12, 10) is:

y - 5 = (5/11)(x - 1)
